Developers Rolling Out Pebble Smartwatch Apps

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday June 20, 2013 @07:07PM from the check-it-out dept.

itwbennett writes "When it first launched, the Pebble smartwatch was a nifty, if pricey, way to get notifications from your phone without having to go to the effort of pulling your phone out of your pocket. As previously posted on Slashdot, the real promise of the watch wouldn't be realized until developers got their hands on the SDK. Now, a few months after launch the apps are starting to roll in and Pebble wearer Kevin Purdy has rounded up some of the best apps and projects — and also where to find them."

Are there watchmakers out there with good accuracy/price ratios?
Borrow a pen and write 5pm on your wrist. Now you have a timepiece that is accurate once per day, and costs you nothing. Assuming your desired time granularity is a millisecond, this watch is accurate for 0.000001% of the day. That's actually better than most watches, and when you divide by price the ratio becomes very attractive.
